i don't know if this has ever been brought up, but what if NS were to have a small section on the site with a Hall of Fame, they could induct athletes that helped build the sport etc...
the page could have their bio, pics videos etc...

AAAAAAAand it'd still be way better than the Skiing Hall of Fame in the UP of michigan.......that place is seriously boring after about 20 mins....

cool idea but it would create so much controversy on whos in and whos not. how would it be decided? and you cant be in a hall of fame if youre still skiin profesionally so it would be very limited as of now

and one of the frist ever to ski backward while hitting jumps.
I was SO stoked when i got to spend some time with him in whistler this summer.
I feel kinda sad sometimes about the real pioneers ofoursport cause they got overlooked since our industry blew up really fast and that i=the industry wasnt ready for them. Only a few came out while some crazy talentedguyz becme unsong heroes in the ncafera.
(the ncaf deserved whate they got as far as exposure goes but the others got nothing out ofit wich saddensme)

word on bringing it to the office rogge... we may also want to bring this up in site discussion if we really wanna make it happen? i think its a pretty cool idea, and it will definitely help get more people educated on our sports history.

super cool idea.
i would like to offer my help to write the bio's up if you need it. i may not have a categorical knowledge of the ski personalities like some other people, but i do have a good journalism background and would be interested in seeing what i could do to assist if it worked out.
